escalating wildfire crisis will be show at the Arrow Lakes Theatre in Nakusp on Tuesday,

Titled B.C. is Burning, the 45-minute film delivers a sobering but hopeful look at what’s
fueling today’s megafires and the science-based solutions that could protect our forests, our
communities, and our future.
B.C. is Burning was independently produced and funded through community support, with
Homestead Foods providing cornerstone funding and major support from Skyline

The film was produced and written by retired forester Murray Wilson and initiated by
Associate Producer Rick Maddison. Editor and Associate producer is Ryan Tebbutt of Edge

powerful footage from both British Columbia and California.
Featuring forest professionals, wildfire officials, and researchers, B.C. is Burning reveals the
growing urgency and the real solutions to managing fire in an age of climate change.

• How proactive forest management can cut carbon emissions, protect communities, and
restore forest health
• What B.C. can learn from California’s bold, science-based wildfire resiliency strategy
